Moroccan Couscous Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Softgrey / All my dishes 1 year, 6 months ago Very mild so it goes well with stronger flavours. I suggest some grilled meat (lamb or pork) and some tzatziki. Adding some Feta cheese might also be a good idea. Prep:10m Cook:20m Servings:6	Softgrey

This looks good and I look forward to trying it. Is the couscous sweet tasting because of the Orange Juice.

Just made this for dinner. It is delicious! I added an extra 1/4 cup of orange juice so it wouldn't be too dry and a little extra cayenne pepper to add some extra heat. Very nice.
